    The GR59 is the one that strays furthest from the Aveiro Lagoon along its route of about 194 km. As with the other routes, intermodality is one of its main features, allowing you to travel its paths on foot, by bicycle, using motorized transport, or, in the lagoon areas, take advantage of the extensive nautical tourism offer for explorations and adventures on the water. From the Aveiro Lagoon to the valleys of Vouga and Alfusqueiro, from the wine-producing Bairrada to the urban heart of Aveiro, this is a route full of surprises to discover.

    This route is promoted by the Intermunicipal Community of the Aveiro Region, with texts and photographs authored and responsibly provided by them
